7. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates on continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 20.35% and 29.69%, respectively. In general, the effective tax rates differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, non-deductible expenses such as those related to certain executive compensation, and other discrete tax benefits recorded during the period.

The year-to-date provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included taxes on earnings at an anticipated annual effective tax rate of 26.78% and a net, favorable tax impact of $5,744 related primarily to discrete tax benefits originating from stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The year-to-date provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included taxes on earnings at an anticipated annual effective tax rate of 24.82% and a favorable tax impact of $56,067 related primarily to discrete tax benefits originating from stock option exercises and stock-based compensation expenses recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record any unrecognized tax benefits or interest and penalties related to any uncertain tax positions.
